Our Team
Principal - Marina Bill
Marina trained as a dancer then completed a teaching degree. After having children she founded the dance school in 2001 to be able to deliver high quality dance teaching and to offer the opportunity to perform for all students regardless of age of ability. Since then the school has gone from strength to strength offering a wide range of classes for little ones from 18 months to adults.
Dance Teacher - Holly Youngs
Holly started dancing with Marina at the tender age of 3 and was a duckling in our very first show. Holly remained with NSD throughout her dancing journey and was a part of our performance group for many years as well as performing in pantomimes. Holly now teaches for us and continues to inspire our senior students with her choreography and loves teaching the adults too.
Dance Teacher - Hannah Grimes
Hannah trained in Norwich and performed in the first show Norwich School of Dance put on in 2003. Hannah completed her training at Performers College before working as a professional dancer. Hannah has now settled back in Norfolk and has returned to NSD. We are pleased to have Hannah on our teaching team.
Musical Theatre Teacher - Melanie Clark
Melanie graduated with a Musical Theatre Diploma from MEPA in 2012 and holds a BA Hons in Theatre from GSA (Guilford School of Acting).
Melanie is currently the choreographer for the UK and West End production of Peppa Pig Live. Between theatre tours Melanie teaches at NSD working closely to supportive development of children in theatre.
At Norwich School of Dance we endeavour to make our classes accessible, focused and enjoyable. We believe learning is at its best when students are relaxed and love what they do.
Classes are available for all ages and abilities. We follow the ISTD syllabus for Ballet, Tap and Modern dance. In addition we run classes in choreography, contemporary dance, creative dance, and our acro classes follow the Acrobatic Arts syllabus..
Our school is in its 24th year. We have our premises on Hall Road where we have a large studio with a sprung floor and a second studio and a dance supplies store, selling the relevant uniform and accessories.
Please contact us for more details or to book your trial class.
At NSD we offer students assisting and teaching roles for those students who are dedicated and show an interest in supporting others and gaining teaching experience.
We also have opportunities for students to do their work experience with us, seeing what goes on behind the scenes at a dance school and organising resources for classes.
